Matchmaking - Successful Matchmakers Show Courtship Hasn't Disappeared By John Smithe At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

According to Webster’s Dictionary, courtship is described as “the act, process, or period of wooing.” To woo means, “to seek the love of, usually in order to propose marriage.” Is this type of courtship or wooing still alive and well in our society?

Courtship has as a basic factor, romance at its core. Its origins date back to a time when a gentleman came calling on a lady and he would never make any impolite physical advances and he and his lady could not be alone together without a chaperone. Now, of course, in today’s society we may think that these dating methods are archaic and they are, but the basic principles of courtship should live on in our modern dating methods.

Respect for each other was a basic principle and is very much a requirement in todays dating etiquette. We need to treat each other with a deep respect and value; that’s basic to successful matchmaking and dating success. If we don’t respect each other, we don’t stand a chance at being in a mature dating relationship.

Courtship was based on being face to face with someone who you valued and were hoping to someday marry. Now, courtship started with that intent to marry the person you were courting and in our modern society, we don’t necessarily have that same intent to marry someone that we are dating. However, most people that date are looking to find a long-term commitment with a partner or find a love with marriage to this partner. Advances in technology are great, but they can make courtship seem impersonal.

Online dating is fine for those that like that way of interaction, but if all you are trying to do with the online dating option is date online and never meet the person you are communicating with online, then you are wasting your time at trying to find a love. Don’t make life more difficult for you than it has to be. So many times we do that to ourselves and make matters much worse.

Before you waste your money on online dating services, take a look at an old fashioned way of finding a love and you may be surprised at how different your love life will be. Matchmakers have also been around for a long time, but with technology they have also been able to get online and be made available for people looking to find such a true love and commitment. One such online matchmaking site is www.seekingmarriage.com. Online matchmaking sites thoroughly screen their members and you can find a perfect match without having to be afraid of the dangers online with other online dating sites, which do not screen their members.

Whatever option you choose to find a love, don’t let go of the basic spirit of courtship which respects each other and brings romance into the mix and values everything that you both bring to the relationship. Technology is great, but it’s not always better than the face-to-face contact of years gone by.
